Bible fact: Holy Trinity not in Bible.
As far as the Bible goes, There is no Trinity in the Bible. The word
itself is not there, nor a definition of it. The Trinity is taken from
a 4th century made up doctrine of uninspired men. (2 Tim 3:16) This is
long after the Bible was written.
The pagan nations around them also had their Trinities. For example
Egypt:
There was Amen, Mut, and Khonsu.
There was Khnum, Satis, and Anukis.
The Trinity is presented as a mystery. Yes, it is a mystery that
anyone would believe it. 3 = 1, 1 = 3. Mt 28:19,20 mentions 3 things.
Just because it mentions 3 things doesn't make it a religious Trinity.
What if I say "me, myself, and I". Does that make me a religious
Trinity also?
Two of the three elements making the Trinity have names. Where is the
name for the Holy Spirit? There is none because it is not a person. It
is just personified like Wisdom is. (wisdom has children; Luke 7:35)
In order for God to be a Trinity, all three elements must be equal,
which is what some Creeds say. Yet the Bible says they are not all
equal.

John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come
again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go
unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
-- King James
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every
man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of
Christ is God.
But what about John 1:1? "the Word was God". It is an error in
translation according to Greek translation rules. (for the rule, just
ask) It should be 'The Word was a god', which is what some
translations show. (but not many)
This has, ultimately, ended up being the position of most of
Christendom: That the Trinity is true even though itAs
incomprehensible; faith is the only way to accept it.
Then we should do the same for Zeus or Ra. Just accept them on faith.
Right? Notice:
"This doctrine has been a stumbling block for Christians (and others!)
since its inception. That it was constructed not out of a desire to
understand God, but from a vendetta against a heresy (e.g. Arianism),
is perhaps what makes it as nonsensical as it seems. It was not
designed as a rational theology; it was designed only to refute other theologies." (
